In the video, one girl is on top of the other, hitting her with both hands.

Several adults can be heard in the home video encouraging the girls to fight each other. No one stepped in to stop the fight.

Police said they were preparing to charge the father of the 13-year-old girl who allegedly inflamed the fight.

“The one girl’s father was encouraging her to fight, encouraging her to hit harder, encouraging her to physically injure the other person,” Sgt. Ed Buns said. “It looks like she done with the fight and he encourages her to keep going.”

A bystander recorded the fight with expletive-heavy audio where the man police say is the father of one girl is heard telling his daughter to “use your fist,” among other commands.

Officers said the father would face contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges.

Police aren’t identifying the man until he’s been officially served the charges.

At the Hamilton park where the fight broke out, parents like Matt Hubbard were glad to see police taking action.

“Any time a parent is urging their kids to beat another kid up, something ain’t right there,” Hubbard said. “I guess the best thing is, they took care of it and people get what they deserve.”
